A laugh that makes no noise and you’re just sitting there, shaking and clapping like a seal. These are the kind o f laughs that “The Schemes o f Scapino” inspires. Within minutes the characters had the audience in stitches. “The Schemes o f Scapino” takes place in contemporary Naples, Italy, and is about a trick ster servant, Scapino, who is con cocting an intricate plot to aid two pairs o f lovers against parental opposition. Right away, the cast members broke the fourth wall and involved the audience. They asked ques tions o f the audience and played off o f their answers. A t one point the audience was asked to stomp their feet in order to emulate the sound o f soldiers. This was a smart move, not only was it more real sounding than a com puter generated sound effect, but it engaged the audience. There was also a particularly humorous joke and one o f the cast members came to the edge o f the stage and explained it to the audience. They had laughed the first time, but laughed even harder when he cam e over arid exp lain ed it. The costumes were absolutely stunning.

Their mission is gun control. They aim to unite gun owners in Oregon and across the country to fight for the com mon goal o f safety for our citi zens. Robert Yuille, husband o f shooting victim Cindy Yuille, is one o f those gun owners. The loss o f his wife last December has changed his purpose in life. “Cindy and I always believed that things in life hap pen for a reason. We’re not supposed to know what it is; w e’re just supposed to follow that path however it leads us,” Yuille said. “When she was murdered I really did not think about becoming involved in any kind o f activism, whatsoever, but it just has pretty much pre sented itself to me.” Paul Kemp lost his brother- in-law, Steve Forsyth, in the shooting. Together with Yuille and under the leadership o f Rick George, they spoke o f their ignit ed activism and o f their deep wish for new action concerning gun safety to Marion County Democrats at their headquarters in Salem last Thursday. G eorge, ow ner of Grande Ronde Consulting in McMinnville, wants to grow their mission to find a solution to the burgeoning gun violence across our nation. All three have a passion for gun ownership and believe responsible gun owners can exercise their rights,and still protect the Second Amendment. They also believe that “gun con trol” is not a bad term. “I have seen enough in the last couple o f years to move me to action. I have never been involved in gun politics in my life and never wanted to - avoided it,” George said. He has obviously had a change o f heart. The activists are forming a not for profit oiganization tentatively named “Oregon Gun Owners for Safety.” Please see CLACKAMAS SHOOTING, Page 2 vest, Giulietta’s compact mirror, Gerontino’s belly as a bumper and Agantini heavily played up his cane.
